You Crack Me Up!

Wow, time just keeps slipping away from me so fast! I meant to try to post everyday this month. Not doing so well. Sorry!

Today's post is all about the eggs! The eggs in Nature Walk that is :) That is the stamp that drew me to this set to begin with. I participated in a swap of 3x3 cards recently and this is one of my submissions. It took a few tries to get it just right ;)

This was my first try. It just didn't have the impact I was going for. I really wanted the eggs to be more colorful and to stand out more. Aren't those bees just vibrate as all get out on the Early Espresso cardstock?! LOVE THAT! And it is just Whisper White Craft ink, no embossing.

And a side view. A good card, but not what I was aiming for...

This was my second try. My hubby said that the sentiment did not match the card and it still wasn't feeling right to me.

And this is the one that made the final cut. Although it may just have been that I was running out of time to get them doe, lol! This is my prototype and I did end up inking all the edges with Early Espresso on the ones I sent. And that adorable edge? Oh, that was done by laying the bottom edge of the folded card on the Fancy Favor die and running it through the Big Shot. Then I repeated the effect on some First Edition DSP.
